[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 427796, member: 4437"] I don’t know much about Polled Herefords yet and I study most everything I can get my hands on. I first have to go out of my way here and write about the recent positive contributions of MY and LFF have made in my thinking amongst others on this board. By the way, the “Basis on Line Breeding” book surely supports the idea that line breeding is the only way to go. I would like to also congratulate LFF in that LFF Shurable is now one of the top ranked unproven bulls in the entire country according to the AHA BMI$ statistics. The price has definitely gone up since LFF posted the photos of the bull. The next male superstar in my view may come from Feltons 517, Feltons Endurance 745, and one other unknown animal, combined. This combination could be line bred over several generations to produce proven EPD numbers of SC 2.0, IMF .40, and REA .50 along with very high maternal values (CE, MCE) inherent of 517. The reason why strictly 517 won’t become bigger is because the carcass values are very low although the fertility is close to the best in the industry which is the most important trait. In order for the carcass values to increase the 745 could be crossed with 517 to increase the IMF which is where the industry trend is moving. Therefore, the future superstar could contain REA power combined with 517 and 745. I am trying to figure the REA portion. The ideal bull could be a line bred 517, 745, and possibly Remitall Boomer, EF Fellis, etc. [/QUOTE]
